I called Olin last week or the week before.  They are not concerned.  They said they knew about it 2 or 3 years ago.  So they already had other lead suppliers lined up.

I figured that there must be other suppliers, because otherwise they would have raised their prices to cover the EPA costs.  They didn't because the market (competition) wouldn't bear it.

Also, there was an article in Shooting Wire:

Over the last 50 years, the City of Albuquerque (City) Police Department fired an estimated 25 tons of lead into their firing range. -

That'll fill a small hole in the lead supply, if but temporarily.
